Stars we've lost in 2018

Celebrities we've had to say goodbye to in 2018.

Meanwhile, fellow MasterChef star Dean Edwards went on: “So sorry to hear of the loss of Matt Campbell, part of the @MasterChefUK family.

“Matt passed while running the London Marathon, you can donate to his just giving page.”

Donations to Matt’s page increased minutes after his death was announced, with thousands more pounds pledged.

A statement on London Marathon's official Twitter page, said: "With deep sadness, we confirm the death of a participant in the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon.

"Matt Campbell, aged 29, a professional chef from the Lake District, collapsed at the 22.5 mile mark and, although he received immediate medical treatment on the scene from race doctors, he died later in hospital.

"Matt was a well-known chef who featured in Masterchef: The Professionals last year, inspiring viewers with his Nutritional Gastronomy movement and forward-thinking ideas. He was running for The Brathay Trust and in memory of his father, Martin, who died in the summer of 2016.

"Matt's family today paid tribute to their inspirational son and brother, who was a keen marathon runner and had earlier this month completed the Manchester Marathon in under three hours.

"Matt's chosen charity, The Brathay Trust, inspires vulnerable young people to make positive changes in their lives.

"Everyone involved in the organisation of the London Marathon would like to express our sincere condolences to Matt's family and friends."
